Alia Bhatt's Heartfelt Roles: Gangubai & Highway Cherished

Actress Alia Bhatt recently reflected on her career at the Red Sea International Film Festival held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. During her appearance, Bhatt expressed that two particular roles hold a special place in her heart: Gangubai from the 2022 film 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' and Veera from the 2014 movie 'Highway'.

Bhatt has frequently spoken about the profound impact of playing Gangubai, describing the experience as 'transformative.' Her performance as the titular character in the film, based on a Mumbai underworld figure, garnered significant acclaim and numerous awards. Similarly, her role as Veera in 'Highway,' a narrative focused on self-discovery through a kidnapping, remains a deeply personal and career-defining part for the actress.

Looking ahead, Alia Bhatt is slated to star in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Love & War,' expected in early 2026, alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal. She is also attached to YRF's spy thriller 'Alpha,' featuring Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor. These upcoming projects highlight Bhatt's continued versatility.
